Multi-lug is but ugly, but owell, they are like $400 a set.

        That is the best picture I could find before I went to the gym.

        I would get them in the silver, I dont think bronze would look good with lachssilber

            I really like the look of silver wheels on Lachs, but the silver xxr offers isnt shiny enough.

            I dont know how bronze youwl dlook either, and black isnt my fav exactly.

              black wheels do nothing for a cars looks. They create a black hole under the car at each corner and just don't do any car justice. It doesn't matter how clean the car is, black wheels just draw too much attention to the fact they are like big black polka dots on an otherwise clean car. Silver would look good, pewter might be a good compromise its dark, but not black, heck, even gold as long as its not a bling color gold could accent well. Gold however is a color that is VERY easily overdone. I'd want polished silver lips on the wheels to offset the gold spokes however. Even Bronze might not be so bad. Its not black, and depending on the shade, it could look pretty good as long as its neither too dark or too light.

              Silver is always a safe call.

                I think silver will look best on my car. Silver or white.

                I'm really debating getting those wheels... I've never seen them on an e30.

                  Just put my car back on rhe ground after rerouting the fuel lines, fixing a leak, tightening up exhaust, securing radiator, and fresh tranny oil.

                  When I drained the existing tranny fluid there was about a cup that came out.... I drove on that for like 30+ miles. I'm glad nothing bad happened..

                      would you trust buying automotive paint online? and is there anywhere that even sells it online?

                            I'm having trouble deciding what to do. I'm not saying that isn't an option, but I'd just like to explore my other options first...
